Dave EmmersonGreetings Programs!
Welcome to the latest instalment of the State of the Cataclysm blog things, in which we’ll give you a brief update on what’s happening in the many worlds of Beyond Cataclysm and share some cool stuff we thing you might enjoy.
Dragonmeet
In the last weekend in November we hit the Excel in London, which is the new home of Dragonmeet, the finest one day gaming convention in the world (certainly in the UK!). It was a whirlwind of driving, sleep deprivation and chocolate, but we had a total blast. It’s always nice to reconnect with folks we maybe haven’t seen since last years Dragonmeet and give hugs the myriad of rpg creators we share this crazy life with. We had famous faces like Chris McDowell, Paolo Greco and Will Rahman swing by to say hi as well. And and this guy, who made a total nuesence of himself and actually lost us at least one MORK BORG sale!
Hellspawn
We’re currently crowd funding HELLSPAWN, which is a ghastly MORK BORG hack about demons trying, and failing, to escape the tortures of hell! It’s compatible with just about every MB hack you can think of, including our very own MORK ORG. Help us smash a few more stretch goals here before it’s too late!
Surprise Mega Bundles
Looking for the perfect Christmas gift for that hard-to-buy-for friend? Look no further! Our Surprise Mega Bundles are now available in values of £25, £50 or £100. They’re guaranteed to have a heap of awesome rpgs and suppliments and will put a smile on the face of any tabletop gaming fan
What else have we been doing?
Chris –
I’m reading the Honor Harrington series of books by David Weber
Listening to Alkaline Trio, mostly their older stuff
Playing Tales from the Old West and The Old King’s Crown
Dave –
I’m reading more Tania Herrero, just can’t get enough of her work this year. Currently I’m lost in The Menagerie of Unbearable Things, with The Omens October Brings at the top of my read next pile!
I’m listening to lots of christmas records from my favourite punk bands. Noteworthy mentions are Christmas Songs by Bad Religion and December’s Here by New Found Glory
I’ve been playing HIVE with my kids and Battleball with Chris!

I’ve been listening to Hearthfire Tales, comedy TTRPG podcast extraordinaire from Ireland. They are lots of fun and just great guys altogether. https://www.hearthfiretales.com/the-division-bell
I’m playing Macchiato Monsters by Eric Nieudan (published by Lost Pages). It’s actually a game run by Eric in Dublin where we both live. I’m the resident cartographer for that game.
I also continue to make maps for conventions. Here’s the TINsider map I made with the UK TIN community. Can you guess what the easter egg for Beyond Cataclysm is for?
Don’t forget to check out our Discord where there are daily chats going on about our upcoming projects, games that folks are enjoying, art, music and life in general. We’d love to chat with you there
